Basketball: Andrew Bogut says the goal for Australia is to get out of the group stages at the Olympics.
Swim star Ariarne Titmus says she has never prepared as well for a major event and is in better shape now than when she won Olympic 200m and 400m freestyle gold in Tokyo .
Ledecky, who was stunned by Titmus in the 200m and 400m at Tokyo, has entered the 400m, 800m and 1500m in Paris, but is set to skip the shorter distance.Titmus said she wasn’t disappointed not to be facing them. She beat Ledecky in a thrilling final in Tokyo then broke the American’s longstanding world record in 2022, only for McIntosh to better the mark last year.
“I don’t think about the result or the magnitude of the Olympic Games, I just think about putting together eight great laps.”
